Four people, including actor Christian Oliver and his two young daughters, were killed after a plane they were in crashed in the Caribbean Thursday.
A statement from the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force on Thursday said the incident occurred off the island of Bequia.
The small single-engine aircraft was traveling from the J.F. Mitchell Airport in Paget Farm to St. Lucia.
“Moments after taking off, the aircraft experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean,” said the local authorities. “Fishermen and divers from Paget Farm went to the scene of the incident in their boats to render assistance.
The SVG Coast Guard was informed and quickly traveled to Paget Farm, Bequia, to lead in the rescue efforts.”
The three passengers aboard the aircraft were identified by authorities as Christian Klepser, 51, and his two daughters, Madita, 10, and Annik, 12. The pilot was identified as Robert Sachs, who also owned the plane.
Authorities said the bodies of the pilot and the passengers were recovered from the aircraft and waters by the SVG Coast Guard.
The victims were later pronounced dead.
